"I am sorry. I made an error of judgement. I never intended to offend anyone," stated Leigh Haussen, reflecting on his choice of costume.
The AFL condemned the incident, labeling it as inappropriate, offensive, and in poor taste, highlighting the seriousness of Haussen's attire.
AFL head of umpiring Stephen McBurney shared that Haussen understands the inappropriate nature of his costume and will address the umpiring group next season.
Haussen, who has been with the AFL for eight years, admitted to wearing the Osama bin Laden costume and apologized following the AFL investigation.
